ROTA GRID 2 vs Fast HAYAKU
 

So I've been trying to decide between these two wheels for street use for a while. Does anyone have experience with ROTAs or Fast wheels?

I can't tell if there's any real difference in their design. Keep in mind, colour/finish as it comes from the manufacturer doesn't matter as I'll be getting them powder-coated anyway.

Tell me what you think! ROTAs or Fasts?

Or find some used TE's

what are the price difference??

Whats the weight and price and offsets/widths available, that should help. They look close enough.

I can tell ya wheel dude shipping is FAST though, ordered on a Friday, my wheels where on step Tuesday AM with Rotas. Thought that was well, pretty friken fast lol. :)

Yea, my buddy suggested just getting some used ones and getting them fixed up since I'm powder-coating them anyway, they potential damage won't really be visible when they're PC'd.

Also, probably gonna get my KW V3s first. ;)

I was more looking for opinions on them... or if they're possibly the exact same.

I'd do the actual sizing when ordering... 18x8-8.5 in the front and 18x9-9.5 in the back.

But coils first, so I'll revisit this at some point in time.

Hayaku is cheaper even when Canadian wages are more expensive than wages in phillipines!!

No, I'm saying what fitments are available. Each rim will be limited to certain offsets and widths, which will help make the decision easier based on the fitment that will achieve on the FRS/BRZ. The fast wheels could have really crappy offsets, meaning they would need a spacer.

I have a friend who had FAST wheels, no issues with them. Finish stayed nice through the life of the wheels, and they were cheap.

Since they look so similar, I would still be looking at what offsets and widths are available - match that to the tire sizes you wanted, and how flush you want. In addition, as I said weight would be another factor. Visually they are so similar, the Rotas being closer to TE37's than the Fasts - whether thats a good thing or bad thing I guess is your call. If you want concave that might play into your decision, I know the grid's can come pretty concave, not sure about the fasts.

I had Rota Grids on my 03 WRX for 7+ years and never had a problem. Hit many a potholes and some curbs and they held up like a champ. Did get some curb rash and the color, had royal sport bronze, started to fade a little but overall I was really pleased with them.

Also a +1 to wheeldude. I got my rotas from them back in the day, still might have been suby dude when I ordered them, but time and old age has clouded my memory.

QUICK QUESTION! Do those fastwheel hayaku wheels really weigh 21.9lbs as advertised?! Seems like A LOT for 17x9's

Bump. Debating the two now in 2017

Well, we are over here in 2018 when you decide. :iono:
